HISTORY
KULTURA NG PAGDIDIWATA
“This part of Filipino culture is manifested by many of our indigenous peoples whose lives are connected to nature. They have established a connection with the forests, the trees, the animals, and the climate. This is manifested in their way of life and traditions—their rituals, songs, dances, weaves,” said Legarda.
THE GADDANG COMMUNITY
"Rising above the waters, life in the heart of the floods" captures the essence of the captivating photographs taken in the Gaddang Community of Banquero, a flood-prone area. These images offer a glimpse into a resilient community's daily existence, where the ebb and flow of floodwaters are not just challenges to overcome but integral parts of their way of life. Through the lens of these photos, we witness the intertwining of tradition, adaptation, and unwavering spirit amidst the ever-changing waters that shape their world.
